When I did a test and tried to upload PS jpgs that had been uploaded successfully before, the bad file msg popped up again. I also tried re-creating the PS file from scratch multiple times, made sure to save it under 'standard' format, tried making a new file and just placing the saved jpg (which will save ok to my computer) and then re-saved as a new jpg, but still the error message.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI shoot raw + JPG and wish that LR 5 had an option not to import JPG when there is a same-named raw file. Lacking that, are there suggestions perhaps for Windows utilities that would do the following (I am on Win7 64-bit with LR 5.2):
I delete all the JPG images before proceeding. That's easy enough; in Windows Explorer, one can sort by type, then delete all the JPGs, or one could open up a command prompt in the directory and "erase *.jpg". But there's a complication; in some modes of the camera, no raw file is generated. In those cases, I just have one .jpg that I want to keep. Here is an example:
img1.cr2
img1.jpg
img2.cr2
img2.jpg
img3.jpg
img4.cr2
img4.jpg
I want to process this directory and end up with one file of each filename, as follows, before doing my import:
img1.cr2
img2.cr2
img3.jpg
img4.cr2
The pseudocode would go something like this:
Sort files by filename fname
IF fname.jpg and fname.cr2 both exist THEN delete fname.jpg
How can I easily do this?
I am trying to take our Traction Power DWG and export it to a DGN which is no problem. The problem i am having arises when i go to attach it to the Track Alignment DGN or the OCS DGN. It says that my drawing is in international feet while the others are in US Survey feet. How can i fix my drawing so that it is in US Survey feet, when i turn it into a DGN.

So when I try & move or stretch the entity, the line or object that I used as a ref point also moves.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI know DXF files can be saved as DWGs then used as XREFs but that isn't the goal we want to achieve.
We are a big steel fabrication shop and we run a plasma machine that accepts DXF files. What we want to do is be able to draw our parts as a DXF ready for the plasma then XREF them into an overall drawing to assure all of our pieces line up. Each piece will be a separate DXF.
We want them to be XREFs so that if one needs to be manipulated it can be done on the spot without having to reattach a block. The more files you have to open and manipulate the more room for error.
The only way I can come up with is to draw all pieces as individual DWG files, then XREF each one into their own DXF file as well as XREFing them all into an overall file to check that they all line up.
If I have several hundred drawings, For example;
Drawing1.dwg
Drawing2.dwg
Drawing3.dwg
..etc..
and several hundred Xrefs;
XCdrg1.dwg
XCdrg2.dwg
XCdrg3.dwg
..etc...
Now, I need to do the following;
attach XCdrg1.dwg to Drawing1.dwg
attach XCdrg2.dwg to Drawing2.dwg
attach XCdrg3.dwg to Drawing3.dwg
..etc...
What is the quickest method? Script? (I have approximately 800 drawings and 800 xrefs and for CAD management reasons they need to be individual drawing files)
I have been sent some drawings with came in 2 zip files. 1 zip contains the floorplans. the other contains the sheets.

I am trying to attach the client details as an xref to my title block. This is how it was done at my previous company, but I did not set that up, so I don't know how it was done.
The problem is this - when I attach the xref, I cannot see it on my page in paper space. If I zoom out as far as possible, the paper layout becomes a tiny dot on the screen. When I then draw a rectangle far to the right of the paper, I see a blue glyph on my paper, so I know that the drawing is there, but I cannot see it (the drawing is inserting very far to the right).
I would like to figure out how to insert my xref so that it shows up on my page. I have moved the information in the file to 0,0 and inserted at 0,0, but I keep having the same problem.
I have an older version of autocad - Autocad LT 2007 - and am trying to attach a dwf I convertedfrom a pdf using design review 2013) in model space. The rectangle of what I imagine is the dwf appears, but there is no content.
View 6 Replies View Relatedi have a little drawing in modelspace. in paperspace, i have a viewport. let's say it's set at 1/4" = 1'-0". everything looks okay so far.
i click on the 'annotate' tab, and then select 'annotative' for my dimension style. it has the little triangle icon thingy so it should be annotative.
i make a couple of simple linear dimensions on my drawing (still in paperspace). looks okay so far.
but now lets say i want to change the scale of my drawing. i change it from 1/4" to 1/2" = 1'-0". my drawing gets bigger, but the dimensions stay the same size and position. they're no longer attached to anything on my drawing.
then i change the scale again, let's say back to 1/4" scale. my drawing shrinks, but as soon as it's back to it's original size, the dimensions now suddenly get twice as big and are where they should have been at 1/2".
and it continues like that, when i change my scale, the dimensions change to whatever the last scale was at, so that they're never synced up.

There are some problems while attaching xrefs in Autocad 2013 it shows "eduplicaterecords" error and "Invalid" while attaching manually. But the functionality is working good in Autocad 2012 and below editions of Autocad.

I need to bust a floor plan up into 4 quadrants. Just so I don’t do anything to the original, typically I will copy the plan from one starting coordinate to my “construction document”, or working construction lines. Once I’ve made the copy, I typically use the construction line as a “Quadrant Marker” for match-lines, etc., etc., etc… My problem is that I cannot remove the construction lines from the new copy that I’ve made. Not only that, if I move the copy, or delete the copy, the construction lines now seem to be a part of the “new drawing”. The “Grip” is also listed as a “Constraint”.
